"Newbie" here
 

Hi all,
My name is Doug Chamberlain, I've been 50 years old now for a number of years, started "re-collecting" about 20 years ago after another 20 years of absence. Mostly sets from when I was a youngun but eventually fell in love with vintage ta boot.
Been out here on the central Oregon coast for 15 years, a New England transplant so I love my Sox, Bruins, and G-men.
Although dormant for sometime with collecting, I love the hobby, history, and baseball itself.
A firm believer in experience as the ultimate teacher, I've already been reaping that knowledge from surfing through this site. Interesting, incitefull, and just flat out fun!!
But beware....I'm sure I'll picking your brains sooner than later!!

Welcome to the board! You'll love it here. It's great to see so many new members this month. A great way to start the new year for sure!

Welcome
 

Doug,

You must be smart. You had an avatar in your first post. It took me 3 1/2 years and 150 or so posts to figure how to post an avatar on here. Good luck collecting

lol...love my smokey Joe!!

Hey
 

Hey, I know this guy!

Welcome to the board, to my oldest and closest buddy.
I think we met in 1982:o

Remember the Cooperstown 95 trip when Schmitty was inducted?..I had the Tshirt out this afternoon...it may have shrunk so I was unable to wear it.

Welcome!!

Yeah, the Tshirt shrunk....right!!!
Remember Cooperstown '95...are you kidding...may be the best 3 consecutive days in my life!!

Welcome to the board. Enjoy the madness. Repeated exposure tends to lead to fullblown addiction, to the hobby AND this place.:D
